Hints for effective data collection Getting better samples How does the CBR 2™ sonic motion detector work? Understanding how a sonic motion detector works can help you get better data plots. The motion detector sends out an ultrasonic pulse and then measures how long it takes for that pulse to return after bouncing off the closest object.
Hints for effective data collection EasyData settings (for TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-84, and TI-84 Plus users only) Setup data collection for Time Graph Experiment length is the total time in seconds to complete all sampling. It’s determined by the number of samples multiplied by the sample interval.
